108 ENGLISH BOTANY. 
considerably smaller in proportion, very slightly produced back- 
wards behind the point of attachment, and the spur of the upper 
petal is longer in proportion. The principal difference, however, is 
in the fruit, which is not at all truncate at the top, and its neck is 
nearly as wide as itself, and actually broader than the enlarged 
apex of the pedicel. 
Though F. Bastardi has the priority, I retain the name of F. 
confusa, as the former has been applied both to this and F. Boreei, 
according to Mr. Jordan.

F. capreolata, Leighton, Fl. of Shropshire, p. 344 (description). 
Sepals ovate, acute, about one-third as long as the corolla, and 
nearly equal to it in breadth. Corolla rose-coloured, tipped with 
very dark purple. Fruit pedicels ascending, patent. Fruit finely 
rugose when dry, roundish, compressed ; rounded at the apex, where 
there are two very inconspicuous pits. Neck of the fruit narrower 
than the enlarged apex of the pedicel. 
A weed in cultivated ground and in hedges. Apparently rather 
rare. 
Professor Babington states that he has seen F. muralis from 
Barnes, Surrey; Shrewsbury, Salop; Wrexham, Denbighshire ; 
and Sheffield, Yorkshire ; and to these localities I am unable to 
add any others, except Somersetshire and the Isle of Wight.

Very like F. confusa, but the flowers are rather smaller than in 
that or any other of the sub-species of F. capreolata, being only 
from 3 to % inch long, and generally darker in colour. The fruit 
is also rather smaller, and has the neck narrower than in F. con- 
fusa, to which it appears to me to be too closely allied; but I 
retain it as a sub-species until the permanence of the character 
taken from the neck of the fruit has been tested by cultivation. 
Rampant Fumitory, Rampant Earth-Smoke. 
French, “umeterre & Pédicelles Recourbés. 
This species was known, and is still recognised, as Fumaria capreolata, which name 
being derived from caper, a goat, well suggests its wild, climbing, vigorous habit. Its 
common English name also speaks of its vagrant, gipsy-like tendencies.
